Frequently Asked Questions

What types of picture files can I show with the Adapter?

The Adapter supports picture files with the following file extensions: BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, and TIF. All of these file types are converted to JPG format when they appear on your TV, so some data loss may occur. This may affect image quality, so the image quality you see on your TV might not be as good as the image quality you see on your PC.

What types of music files can I play with the Adapter?

The Adapter supports MP3 and most WMA files. WMA files with Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection are not supported.
